#43 – Maj Toure on Black Guns Matter and How to Start a Movement

On the podcast this week, I have Maj Toure joining us. He’s from Philadelphia and is currently on a tour around the country promoting his Black Guns Matter movement. If you haven’t heard about it yet, he’ll go into all the details in this episode. But the basic idea is to educate as many people about gun safety as well as offer firearm training to anyone that wants to learn.

The organization has been going on for about a year now, but it’s been gaining a lot of traction over the past few months. He’s been featured on several other podcasts, blogs, as well as some of the biggest news stations out there. So I was honored for him to take time out of his busy day to share his story with the Risk Without Regret audience.

#38 – How I Started Mini Truck Scene and Went From Photography to Apparel

Back in 2011, I had no idea what a simple domain name purchase would lead to. It initially started as a place to store my truck show photography, but over the years, that grew to all sorts of merchandise.

I started small, just some stickers, koozies, and super basic tshirts. For awhile, I even carried some products like DVDs from other companies in the scene.

In early 2013, I was ready to take this idea to a whole new level. My first vendor booth weekend was a success and I was hooked.

Listen to my story from how this idea became a reality, how my photography led to starting a clothing line, how I was able to finance everything, some simple tips I learned along the way, and so much more.

#36 – The Difference Between Being Frugal & Being Cheap

We all need some amount of money, that’s a fact. How we spend that money is vastly different.

I would classify myself as a frugal person: someone that spends money on the things that add value to my life, and saving money on the things that don’t matter as much.

In this episode, I’ll dig into the difference between being frugal and being a cheapskate. We all love saving money, but there are times when it makes sense to spend. Enjoy!
